Is it OK for cafes to turn away mums with prams?

Hi neighbours,

Both coffee and controversy is brewing in wider Wellington region at the moment on the topic of prams in cafes.

A cafe in Petone doesn't allow buggies and prams in the cafe when two designated areas up front by the window are full. This is due to space and safety reasons. However, some mums have hit out saying it isn't "child friendly". Other cafes have now chimed into the debate. We want to know your thoughts on the topic.

Are you a mum with a pram that's been turned away from a cafe? Or perhaps you're a business owner that struggles to fit prams on the premise. Perhaps you're a customer with an opinion to share. Let us know your thoughts in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff)

My flock of six mixed breed hens have started laying again.

These girls are totally free range and spend their days munching on goodies they dig up in the jungle. In addition I feed them premium layer pellets and mixed grains to provide them ideal nutrition.

Cheers!

I'm looking at the Serenity, which is the one that allows you to swap in and out different toppers.
